:DEVICE Fon I vIlMIlIGfl ,LATHER Application filed November 22,1927. Serial No. 21,315,048.

My invention more particularly relates to a sanitary device for making lather without the use of a brush.

My invention will best be understood by reference to the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section through a lather making device embodying my invention, and ll ig. 2 is a plan view of the body member of Fig. 1, with the casing removed.

Like reference charactersy indicate like parts throughout the drawing.

Referring now to the drawing, is a body member preferably cylindrical in form throughout the major portion thereof and formed of any suitable material, preferably one that is readily cleaned, such asv glass.

The body member is scooped or hollowed out at one side to form a cup-shaped recess 11 which is adapted to receive lather forming material, preferably in the orm of powdered soap, or soap in the torm of a Cream. The body member is provided, preferably at one end, with an annular liange 12 which is preferably milled on its periphery as at 13. rlhe body member is also provided with a nipple 14, which is here shown as integral with the body member itself, but which, obviously, may be secured thereto by a suitable joint, and may, it desired, be formed of a material diilerent from that oi which the body member itself is formed. A passage 15 extends from the recess 11 through the nipple 14.

rlhe contracted portion ot' a bulb 141 is preierably received on the nipple 14.

The body member 10 is also preferably, though not necessarily, provided with a groove 1G located adjacent to the flange 12. A ring 17 of yielding material, such as rubber, is placed in the groove 16 and forms a tight joint therewith. A. casing 18, preferably cylindrical throughout the major portion oi its length, is received over and forms a tight joint with the ring 17, so that a tight joint is formed between the casing and the body member 18.

The iront end of the casing 18 is preferably contracted as at 19, and the contracted end thereof is preferably screw-threaded as at 20, and receives a nozzle member 21 which is also provided with screw threads 22 to engagethe ,screwthrea'ds on the contracted end 19 of the casing. l throughthe nozzle y At least one, andpreijerably vlaplurality .of Lfora.maillons members.' 24, Preferably in the 'A passage 23Qextends form Ot rather lille Wir@ mesh-relle al ranged sidebySflerarereceved inthe Orening of the nozzle, the ,foremost OITMHIIIOUS member 24 being seated against a shoulder formed in the nozzle, and therear mem- Eberbeing engaged'by La :disc or r1n0^|26 pro-V vided with acentral opening as in; icatedfin Fig.- -1,- which is engaged by the 'contracted y @nu of .theoasng and, .in turn Secures the f0- raminous members in position. rThe casing 18 member, thereby pvrovilingffree and easy .communication ,between th recess llinithe bQCly llamber .and the mzzl@- which'is adapted to .make a lather forming mixture 'with theV A1nz tterialjin the rec`ess.11.f4` it m11 ,be understood ,that-.alf may Ealsffle@ `drawnuinto the bulb. n

' I claim:

J1. In a lather making device, a body member provided witha recess adapted to receive lather making material and having a nipple and a passage extending from said recess through said nipple, a casing enclosing said recess and provided with a nozzle,

Vmeans providing communication between said nozzle and said recess, and a compressible' bulb adapted to be attached to said nipple and to lcontain a liquid, whereby the liquid may be forced to andfrom said bulb through the lather forming material in said recess. f 2. In a lather making device, a body mem- Y ber provided with a recess adapted to receive lather making material and having a nipple anda passage extending from said recess through said nipple, a casing enclosing said recess and provided with a nozzle having a lather forming member placed therein, means providing communication between said nozzle and said recess, a compressible bulb adapted to be attached to said nipple and to contain a liquid, whereby the liquid may be Y forced from said bulb in vsuccession through said passage, said recess and said nozzle.

Y 3. In a lather making device, abody mem- 'Kber provided with a recess adapted to receive lather making material and having a nipple `,aand a passage extending from said recess to nozzle and sai said nipple, a casing enclosing said recess and provided with a'nozzlev attached to said 5. In a lather making device, a body member provided with a receptacle adapted to contain a lather forming material, a casing surrounding said receptacle, a bulb attached to said device and communicating freely with said receptacle in both directions, whereby liquid contained in said bulb may be forced back and forth over said material to produce a lather forming liquid, and lather forming means communicating with said receptacle and with the atmosphere through which` said lather forming material is forced. v
